Named for its location on the reservation land of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation, the town of Cherokee offers an excellent selection of historical and cultural sites for visitors of all ages.
You can get a glimpse of the 18th-century Cherokee lifestyle through the living history exhibitions at the Oconaluftee Indian Village, watch an authentic Cherokee story unfold at the Unto These Hills Outdoor Drama, and learn about the community's history at the Museum of the Cherokee.
The town is also located near the entrance of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and there are two beautiful waterfalls within driving distance.
